    You certainly have a winner there David. I got to have your friend come over to my house (or may he can come up to the Farm?)
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    real steel..... Never really been a fan of American WW2 helmets. But honestly, that helmet is just plane awesome! It's perfect. I mean, it just seems to embody the American presence within the conflict. When I watch war movies, doc's or Hollywood, old or new, it's just this type of helmet, it's appearance, the rich color and netting, that catches the eye.

    Great find.


    Take care.

    I'd be spewing to part with it, your Mate will no doubt regret it!

    Great helmet, really looks like all the bits have always been together, (and having owned a few dodgy M1's ) a lot you see don't.
